NATO has rejected membership for Ukraine, the organization saying today they won't commit
00:00:09.920
to admitting Ukraine to NATO until Russia, quote, has been defeated. NATO says they will look toward
00:00:17.180
an Israel-style relationship with Ukraine for now. Ukraine President Zelensky accusing NATO
00:00:24.480
of having, quote, a lack of respect. President Trump's attorneys moved to postpone his trial.
00:00:30.940
Federal Judge Eileen Cannon originally scheduled the Trump documents trial to begin just over a
00:00:36.860
month from today. Marx's special counsel Jack Smith had then asked to push the trial until December
00:00:43.520
to give Trump's attorneys time to get security clearances to be able to review classified
00:00:49.380
documents. The president's attorneys have now responded, asking Judge Cannon to push the
00:00:55.800
trial back even further, asking that the trial date be set sometime after the 2024 presidential
00:01:03.040
election, saying proceeding to trial during the pendency of a presidential election cycle,
00:01:08.580
wherein opposing candidates are effectively, if not literally, directly adverse to one another
00:01:14.660
in this action will create extraordinary challenges in jury selection and limit the defendant's ability
00:01:21.080
to secure a fair and impartial adjudication, end quote. And the Bank of America hit with a huge
00:01:28.420
fine for fraud. Bank of America ordered to pay $250 million in fines, penalties, and refunds. A hundred
00:01:36.640
million of that money goes toward reimbursing customers for the bank's double dipping on overdraft fees,
00:01:43.240
withholding reward bonuses and opening accounts without customer consent. Join us today for the
00:01:49.940
Great America Show. Our guest is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jim Jordan. We take
00:01:55.900
up tomorrow's big day for the committee as FBI Director Christopher Wray testifies. Here is Chairman
00:02:02.340
Jordan on some of tomorrow's issues. The Justice Department and the FBI have called parents terrorists, set up a
00:02:09.240
snitch line to report parents. The FBI investigated 25 moms and dads across this country. We know that
00:02:15.020
because of whistleblowers who come forward. Then it was the memorandum at the Richmond field office,
00:02:20.820
the FBI field office, where they said, if you're a pro-life Catholic, you're a radical, you're an
00:02:25.580
extremist. Then it was retaliation against the whistleblowers who came forward and told us about
00:02:30.360
these things. Then, of course, finally, we had what we got just a week ago, six days ago, in the decision
00:02:37.320
from Judge Doty in the Western District of Louisiana, where he talked about the censorship
00:02:42.560
that the FBI and the rest of the government has been involved in limiting Americans' First Amendment
00:02:48.460
free speech rights. I think we'll highlight all that, not to mention this latest thing with the
00:02:54.020
whistleblower, Gary Shapley, and the Biden family business operation. I'm sure we'll get into that as well.
00:02:59.380
